Fluke 9010A 8085 pod issues

[fabioNMI]

Hello!

I am working on two Fluke 9010As, they were not working when I got them but after some work they both start and pass their auto-test!
I only have one 8085 pod here and it fails auto-test with code 00. According to the service manual this error can be a number of things, but when I try the suggestion from the service manual, which is issuing a read command of address 0FF0 I just get the auto-test error message again (with the same error 00).
I was expecting it to give me some sort of data as output.
I already checked and replaced the 8085, checked the 8155 (using Chip tester Pro v2), checked all the 74SC374s, 74ALS245s, but they all test good.
I believe the 8085 and the 3.2MHz crystal are good because otherwise I think I would get a pod timeout, but I might be wrong.
I am about to dive deeper into the pod operation but would love to hear hear more experienced folks here!
Anyone with experience on that?

Thanks!

Arcade repair forums would be a better place to look for help.
9010s are actively used there.

Thanks Al,

Yeah I noticed they are used in that area but since my hobby is retro computers I thought I could ask here. Maybe I will join one of those arcade forums and ask there!
